Let us know if you’re encountering any problems in Chrome; we’ve been testing regularly on both the Beta and Canary channels (just confirmed it’s working on the Dev channel, too). The exact Chrome version number and a link to the page will help us.

This looks cool, but I have two concerns before I employ this on my sites. 1) when will the chrome issue be resolved? 2) I have Highslide for WordPress *reloaded* installed on my main site, and I like it. Will this work with Highslide?

I am on the latest Chrome Dev Channel release and it does not work in it. But then a lot of things are broken in this specific release (I cannot load Disqus for example!). I do not have access to Chrome stable channel right now. I assume that you guys tested on the stable build.

I have Shadowbox JS installed and when I click on a photo in a gallery I get Jetpack Carousel and it works fine. BUT, when I leave Carousel by using escape I get the Shadowbox JS slide show module. Is there a way to deal with this other than disabling Shadowbox JS? I do not want to loose the Shadowbox JS functions on single images. Check out http://tjpowell.net/2012/06/summer-solstice-or-there-abouts-sunset-photo-shoot/

I prefer Carousel and I would like to use it only. But I have lots of single images that have links coded into them and without Lightbox JS the single images link to a page with just that image. That is kindof annoying. Is there an easy way with a plugin or something else to just strip all of those links from the images? Thanks, I am really loving jetpack!

Matt, how would you go about implementing Carousel functionality on a single image? Many sites use just one image and not a gallery of images… many sites currently enjoy a lightbox plugin that supports both single image and galleries… I enjoy Jetpack and believe Carousel to be a superior design, but at present it seems to inferior to many other lightbox solutions for its lack of single image support. Please tell me I am wrong.

It’s looking amazing, I just wish it would work on my website 🙂 For some reason, with Carousel enabled (or disabled for that matter) the thumbnails just links to the image page. It’s not working in Chrome, Safari or Firefox. I’ve deactivated and activated it again but that doesn’t work….

I would love to use Carousel, but it does not work on my blog http://friedbert.net/. I thought it might be a problem in combination with the Fancybox plugin, but deactivating Fancybox does not work either. Next I would consider checking any problem with W3 Total Cache, but before I mess up my blog, I wanted to ask, if anybody experienced problems in combination with those or other plugins.
Thank you very much in advance!

I’m having the same problem. Normally I use Shadowbox JS. Even when I disable all the plugins without Jetpack, it still won’t work.

I’ve searched the source of the page for the javascript file, but it won’t be included. I use WP 3.4.1 and a LAMP setup with APC. Even clearing the cache won’t do the trick. Tested it with Firefox and Opera, both latest versions.

I have no way to test this right now (really), but would like to go ahead and ask 2 questions:

1. Does Jetpack carousel work only if the gallery thumbnails are linked to attachment pages, or would it work just fine even if they are directly linked to the file?

2. (My previous comment hasn’t shown up, so…) There seems to be no way to disable comments in carousel from the settings. Does the carousel respect the image.php or attachments.php template by chance? I mean, would removing comments code from the template disable comments in carousel too?

It looks great and I guess we can work on some couple ‘design’ modification (like integration of pinterest and ad banner…), but quick questions, Does each image slides count as a pageview ?
* And an other great idea would be to have at the end of the gallery some related slideshow galleries, so that users can surf from gallery to gallery.

Does Jetpack Carousel respect image.php or attachments.php templates by chance? Would removing from the templates also disable comments in Jetpack Carousel? or is there no simple way to disable comments at all? (other than hacking into the plugin maybe)

Are mobile devices not supported? On my iPhone, the gallery view on this page doesn’t work; it just loads a separate page with the one image I selected. I tested a couple of other web pages, and those look even worse: the gallery view does load, but the images are tiny thumbnails on the screen. You can’t even pinch-zoom to view them larger.

I’m a professional illustrator, so cross-platform support is huge for me. If potential clients can’t see my work, they’re going to move on. I’m currently using SimpleViewer my portfolio, and it works quite well on all the devices I’ve tested.

I dig the carousel but would very much like support for regular images, not just WP galleries. on the sites I work with, we use a combination of wordpress galleries, gallery2, and regular images. if this supported regular images then we could have consistent behavior for all images. thanks!

Would it be an idea to combine the functionality of carousel and the embed function for video/media files? In line with previous requests for single image support that would give a nice and distraction free focus on the media content when clicked.
Just my 2 cents.

I am not sure why but a comment I posted a few days ago did not get approved. I asked if it would be possible to use JetPack with carousel feature being disabled and have Sahdowbox or similar presentation plugins working. Currently if I activate JP it totally stops Shadowbox JS, I checked to make sure the carousel feature was not turned on, it was not. Enabling the carousel does not offer a substitute functionality. Until there is a solution to this I will have to disable JP.

I apologize for your first comment going missing. It sounds like there might be a JS conflict. Could you email a list of your plugins to support@jetpack.me, please? We’ll try to track down the issue. Thanks!

Here’s a beautiful sample of the new Carousel feature, its titled “My Love” http://www.ledesmaphotography.com/2012/08/06/my-love/ Basically, I had a wordpress.com blog and I went the self hosted route because I wanted to some changes in the backend but now with JetPack I’m golden.

Dear Cemal,
I had similar problems. It is not required to disable W3TC completely. For me it was sufficient to disable JS minify. There are still benefits from W3TC and I hope this helps you too.
Best regards

Doesn’t support single images. Isn’t mobile friendly. Should be integrated into the media embed tools. Each image should be a pageview. Should have shortcodes. It’s kinda slow with larger galleries… oh, and it’s odd how you disable it. Just saying, but well on it’s way to being a positive addition to Jetpack.

This makes my images look amazing. It doesn’t show up when I use Google Chrome or IE, only when I went to firefox did I see the result. It also didn’t show the scroll button which I see in your demonstration though. I wonder if you could take a look for me on my (Your Garden) page. Alistair

I do upload all the pictures I use on my site directly from my computer using wordpress (add media). Gallery tag? I am not sure of. One of my pages I have used file attachment which I believe should be used for carousel to create a post, as it were, still not coming into operation with this though, except for partially when I use Firefox, which makes me think this would give a clue as to whats wrong. I am not going to give up on this Tim, as carousel is just what I am looking for, please stick with me to sort this out.

Control elements that are consistent and intuitive seem to be lacking in the Carousel module. For example, the left and right arrows are on the opposite sides of the screen. With a wide screen monitor (or a regular 4:3 monitor) it takes a lot of mouse movement to change directions. Was this done for a reason? Why not put the left and right arrows in the center of the screen, next to each other (either above or below) the image.

Also, the “x” close button is on the top left. I’ve never seen a close “x” button on the top left, it’s always on the top right. Was this done for a specific reason, or to be different? Can the close “x” button be moved to thee more familiar top right of the screen?

Consistency and intuitiveness, in this case, are a personal preference. In one case, what is available in Carousel may be consistent and intuitive; in others, it may not. These elements are unlikely to change soon, though we do appreciate the feedback 🙂
